The flavours are so delicate and one would not even think to pair certain items. The chef captured perfectly the diversity of the African / Caribbean diaspora. The food makes me so proud. Remarkable. The decor was tasteful and we immediately felt at ease when we walked in. The colour scheme and layout creates a chill vibe and music was perfect . Relaxed yet attentive staff. The portions are so massive that it's one of those rare occasions where I would actually recommend they give less food. It's just too much. Mind you, we were travelling back home the next day so ordered quite a bit. But even one dish each would have been a lot. I don't understand how one could live or be near Montreal and not stop what they are doing and come here for lunch / dinner. This must be a top 100 restaurant in Canada. How could it not be ? From the accra, the fresh watercress salad and slaw to the succulent fried chicken , savoury red snapper. I couldn't get enough of the variety of rices they provided ( Haitian , Jamaican etc). It was just all so mouthwatering. People this place is beyond the real deal. They set a standard of how all restaurants should be in showcasing the absolute best. Palme accomplishes the trifecta of stellar cuisine , service and ambience. Read my review while enjoying your meal here and you'll see it is the gospel! I wish Decades of success to the owners. Well done !

Everything about Kwizinn was impressive and more than expected for the price. The ambiance was so comfortable and inviting. The service was excellent. I had the Lobsta Pasta and was wowed.

My compliments to the chef!

If I were rating on food alone, this is an easy five star review because the kitchen is…read morespectacular. The goat, lamb, and oxtail were absolutely out of this world, flavorful, tender, and perfectly executed. Huge shoutout to the bartender as well, as he clearly knows exactly what he is doing and crafts excellent drinks. Unfortunately, the table service was subpar and dragged the experience down. Our server was highly inattentive, left us waiting for long stretches, and never introduced herself. She also missed the opportunity to see if we wanted another round of drinks once dinner arrived. Most disappointing of all, they completely looked past the note on our reservation about celebrating my mother's birthday. Go for the incredible food, but the front of house service needs a lot of work.

My favorite cousin and I both have recent high school grads and took them on a trip to Montreal as…read morea grad gift. We wanted to make sure we experienced the best food this city had to offer and after doing an extensive social media search, I found this small, off-the-beaten path eatery in the St. Henri neighborhood of Montreal. What a great choice!! We arrived right on time for our 7pm reservation and the place was already packed. We were immediately seated and took in the electric vibe, bangin' music and cool-ass artwork. The smells emanating from the kitchen had us ready to pig out...and that we did! Everything on the menu looked so good we had trouble deciding what to order, but we finally ordered the plantain chips, mango wings, slow-cooked goat, fried shrimp and black rice. We tore all that food up and got an extra order of the shrimp. Our servers were friendly and funny and got a chance to meet the owner the owner and he even bought us a round of shots! He told us he was opening a bigger place later this summer! Wish I could go back for that! Pikliz was definitely the food highlight of our trip and we can't stop talking about it. If I ever go back to Montreal, I'm running to Pikliz!

I'm a huge fan of Somebody Feed Phil, and after watching Phil's Montreal episode, I knew I had to…read moremake a stop at Ma Poule Mouillée. It ended up being one of the best meals of my trip. When I arrived, there was a short line, and as soon as I walked inside, the incredible aroma of rotisserie chicken filled the room. That's when I knew I was in for something special. I was told to order the wet hot chicken plate, so I did--and it absolutely did not disappoint. I also couldn't resist trying the famous chicken poutine. The flavors were bold, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The portions were enormous, too; there was easily enough food for several meals. Before leaving, I picked up a small homemade tres leches tart for dessert. It was the perfect ending to the meal. The cake was moist and delicious, and the caramelized burnt sugar on top added an amazing flavor and texture. I honestly wish Ma Poule Mouillée had a location in Detroit because this would become my monthly dinner spot without question. This place is the definition of "winner, winner, chicken dinner." If you're visiting Montreal, don't miss it--you'll leave full, happy, and already thinking about your next visit.

This was another poutine recommendation from Eater, and the tour guide from our food and walking…read moretour corroborated that. When we showed up and saw the line around the corner, we figured that it must be good. We waited in line for about 30-40 minutes, but it was a nice evening. (I assume that waiting in that line in the dead of winter would not be fun.) You can order to takeaway, but they have seating indoors. We opted to eat there because poutine is better fresh. I read that the petit was still quite large, so we opted to split the petit. We both agreed that was a smart decision. The poutine was good, but the flavor of the cheese curds was muted by the shredded chicken and choriço. Their signature dish is their Portuguese chicken, and so I'm curious how that tastes when it's not covered in poutine gravy and cheese curds.

The pre fixe menu for the MTLatable had a lot of options and we were glad most of the options were gluten free. I had the Conch Gratin which was good but was a huge portion so more bread would have been needed as I didn't want to eat it right off of the spoon. My friend got the jerk shrimp which were very fishy smelling and tasing and just alright. Our entrees were the star of the night - the Grilled Fish and the Vegan Curry. For the dessert the server recommended the Pina Colada which was tasty but basically coconut ice cream with a pineapple. The service was very slow despite it not being very busy on the snowy night. We had to flag down a server just to order drinks after waiting for a while. There was a large birthday party - they were the only other clients - and they seemed to be taking all the time and attention of the staff.

You are welcomed so warmly by the staff, always helpful but NEVER intrusive. Honestly makes you feel like you are at a Louisiana local neighbourhood Chow-Down, as friend not a patron. Love that about La Lou. Last night's dinner started with a Hurricane, for me and a spicy Caesar for my partner. The Hurricane was delicious, a perfect blend of fruit juices and rum, I could drink these and nothing else, for the rest of my life. My partner reported the Caesar was perfect, from the mix to the spicy bean garnish. Our appetizers were Hush Puppies (of course) and Crab Cakes. The Hush Puppies were little balls of flavour, texture and taste, prepared to perfection. The crab cakes had the crispy exterior and soft, savoury and delicious interior. Love the presentation. I should have taken photos but I was too interested in devouring these little jewels. My partner ordered the Meat Jambalaya, he was blown away by the perfect seasoning, combination of the ingredients, Andouille sausage, smoked ham and chicken. He says he highly recommends this dish. Ordinarily, I go with the blackened fish of the day, but this visit I thought I would try Lou's Famous Fried Chicken. There is a reason it is "Famous". The chicken was juicy and tender, the coating was crisp and delicious. It came with a side of seasoned fries, delicious and tender. We desperately wanted the incredible Bananas Foster dessert but there was no way we could eat another bite, so we finished off with 2 BB King specialty coffees. You have to try one, if you go; delicious! Again, I forgot photos! Coffee, Bailey's and darned if I can remember the other ingredients. They are listed on the menu. All this to say that if you are visiting Montréal - this is a "Must visit" destination. We live 65 kms away and gladly brave the traffic to avail ourselves of this little treasure chest of Louisiana flavours.

Apparently this place has been around for about 35 years along with other spots in this neighborhood. I was starving so we ordered right away and asked for sweet potato fries. They came out super hot since the kitchen was just a few steps away. They had a very flakey flour coating and were delicious with the sauce. The paneed chicken with creamy green peppercorn sauce was good with the garlic mashed potatoes. Not bad but kind of expensive for what it was. As for the meat jambalaya, it seemed a bit skimpy on the meats... Just a few pieces of sausage, ham and chicken. Good tomato based sauce. Overall food to price value is a 4/5.
